HINT: New belt refer to a belt which has been used 5 minutes or less on a running engine. Used belt refers to a belt which has been used on a running engine for 5 minutes or more. After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the ribbed grooves. Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley. After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 minutes and recheck the belt tension. 4.

Connect the positive (+) probe of the ammeter to terminals B of the alternator. Connect the positive (+) probe of the voltmeter to terminal B of the alternator. Ground the negative () probe of the voltmeter.

13.5 14.3 V at 115C (2390F)

If the voltmeter reading is greater than standard voltage, replace the IC regulator.

If the voltmeter reading is less than standard voltage, check the IC regulator and alternator as follows: With terminal F grounded, start the engine and check the voltmeter reading of terminal B.

If the voltmeter reading is greater than standard voltage, replace the IC regulator. .. If the voltmeter reading is less than standard voltage, check the alternator.

7. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD (a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn on the high beam headlights and place the heater blower switch at Hl. (b) Check the reading on the ammeter. Standard amperage: 30 A or more
